A documentary centered around late rap artist XXXTentacion is set to arrive on Hulu this June.
The doco called Look At Me, named after one of the rapper’s biggest hits, will look at his life and rise to fame without steering away from the allegations of abuse against the artist or the complex situation surrounding his death back in 2018.
Produced by Fader FIlms, Look At Me first debuted at South by Southwest (SXSW) in Austin but it is set for a wider release on Hulu on June 10.
Look At Me: XXXTENTACION explores how Florida teenager Jahseh Onfroy became SoundCloud rapper XXXTENTACION, one of the most streamed artists on the planet. Through frank commentary from family, friends and romantic partners, and unseen archival footage, director Sabaah Folayan offers a sensitive portrayal of an artist whose acts of violence, raw musical talent and open struggles with mental health left an indelible mark on his generation before his death at the age of 20.
